MTN Group CEO to meet Museveni at Kampala summit
KAMPALA. MTN Group Chief Executive Officer Rob Shuter is one of the high profile guests expected to attend the Africa Now Summit in Munyonyo, Kampala.
Museveni last met the MTN group boss in January in Davos, Switzerland, where they discussed an array of issues.
Among the issues, Museveni advised MTN to work towards floating shares on the Uganda Stock Exchange so that Ugandans can partly own the company.

The Africa Now Summit, which is to be co-chaired by President Museveni will also attract a number of African Heads of State, high level representatives from African Union, key business leaders, academia among others.
